WHO IS NXT?

WWE fans in a frenzy as they try to guess mystery wrestler in NXT teaser video

The Nexus

Raw – June 7, 2010

Back when NXT was a reality TV-style contest, the entire class of new recruits – led by Wade Barrett – invaded Raw to destroy the set (and to the delight of fans, John Cena).

Considering most ended up on jobber duty, it doesn’t seem that significant now – but it was the freshest thing to happen on Raw in years at the time.

Notable for Nexus member Daniel Bryan getting fired for going un-PG when he choked the ring announcer with his tie.

Earthquake

Superstars – October 2, 1989

Jimmy Hart claims to pick a random fan from the crowd to sit on Dino Bravo’s back as he does push-up to prove how strong he is.

After picking out a smiling 400 pounder dubbed “Big John”, Bravo manages five push-ups – but when Ultimate Warrior attempts it, John crushes him Earthquake-style. A swerve turn before swerve turns were even a thing.
